Biomass reactor

Abstract

A biomass fractionator and method are described for inputting ground biomass and outputting several vapor streams of bio-intermediate compounds along with syngas and biochar. In one embodiment, a method for biomass fractioning, comprises dispensing biomass into thin sheets of ground biomass; subjecting the thin sheets to ramps of temperature; and selectively collecting various groups of compounds as they are released from the thin sheets.

1 . A system of biomass reaction compartments for carrying ground biomass from station to station in a biomass fractionator, the system comprising a disc having one or more chambers. 
     
     
         2 . The biomass reaction compartment of  claim 1 , further comprising smooth or coated top surface to accommodate seals between stations.
